Had he picked him, Manafort would've been able to shove Lieberman through the VP nomination process (he would've gotten all those unruly conservative activists in-line).

Good.

Manafort is sleaze.

Trump is the stupidest job hirer. He doesn't vet well and he will live the consequences of it.

Trump doesn’t vet at all.

There isn’t anyone in his cabinet who deserves the jobs they’ve been given.

The only thing he vets for is how they loyal they'll be to him.

We have to give it to McCain: he was always consistent and largely correct about Russia.

Funny thing, he is even bad at doing that. Most of the people who work for Trump are in it for themselves.

I agree. Both the Trump campaign and WH failed horribly with appropriate vetting of people, causing lots of scandals.
